Thrift Store Haul

I hadn't been to a thrift store in a while, so I went the other evening to check out what they had. Sadly there were no vintage sheets, but I did find some interesting fabrics, a pillow, some Pyrex, and stuffing.

I bought the pillow for the form inside, not for the beautiful pattern ;) I got 2.6 meters of brown cotton, 1.8 meters of an aqua and orange vintage flower cotton, 1 meter of a fall patterned cotton, and 1.6 meters of a green and teal flower and vine patterned cotton.

On the way to the till I spotted the Pyrex. I thought they were so cute, I couldn't pass them up!

I really like the Pyrex! I went to the Salvation Army store about 45 minutes away from my house yesterday. It was my first time in a thrift store. I found a David Lance Goines lithograph for 50 cents. From what I've seen online, it might be worth as much as $300. I am hooked!!! It is a pretty print entitled "By Hand" for a bespoke clothing store. It will look great in my sewing room!
